Welcome to Scorpio season, when the Sun enters the waters of this Pluto-ruled sign of the zodiac and you are invited into its world. It’s a month filled with cosmic movements that ask you to turn inward, reach into the unknown, and navigate the mysteries of yourself and life.
When Is Scorpio Season?
Scorpio season starts on October 22, 2024, and takes you to November 21, 2024.
What Does Scorpio Season Mean?
As an archetype, Scorpio desires nothing more than to draw you closer to the unseen aspects of yourself. No other sign of the zodiac teaches that cycles are constant more than the fixed sign of Scorpio. Transformation is a constant, and Scorpio innately understands that each moment is filled with both birth and death. Scorpio guides you to reclaim what is real within you, what is lasting, and what is strong. It strips away all that is not true to you and returns you to what is.
Swimming deep within the waters of emotion that we all live within, Scorpio reads the tides and intuits the frequencies like no other. It senses, it sees, it penetrates and reads the emotion behind the words, the intentions behind the action, and the patterns behind the ways of being.
This perspective brings power, determination, and a laser focus to Scorpio season. It goes after its desires with a tenacity like no other, reminding you that to remain centered and determined on something is to be utterly transformed by it. To remain dedicated and take steps forward toward whatever calls your name is to be completely reborn in the process.
As you wade into the waters of Scorpio season, your intuition becomes sharper, your sight extends beyond your eyes, and your senses begin to attune to the environment both around and within you. It is a time of trust in your emotions, hunches, gut instincts, and insights that seem to come from places unknown. This is how Scorpio speaks to you.
What Scorpio Season Means for You
As the Sun shifts through the sign of Scorpio, it simultaneously travels through and influences a specific house in your birth chart. This emphasizes certain aspects of your life. Looking at your rising sign can help you understand the astrological house and aspects of your life being illuminated this season.
Aries Rising
Scorpio season invites you into an unseen realm and asks for time and space alone to reflect, consider, feel, and allow all that you encounter to transform the essence of who you are. It is a time of inward exploration, mystical consideration, and true intimacy with self.
This space acts as a doorway into deeper vulnerability within your relationships. There is an acute awareness of unspoken energetic exchanges in your interactions throughout the month ahead. Be aware of your ability to read, see, and know what takes place beneath the surface. There is transformation that meets you through descending into such intense love and intimacy and allowing for the trust and surrender needed to share your truest self with another.
Taurus Rising
Scorpio exists on the same axis of the zodiac circle as you and is your opposite sign. Yet it is also your partner and moves you toward the same destination. This season invites you to step outside of your comfort zone and bring in new perspectives and spaces. Perspectives that will catalyze and transform how you move through the world. Perspectives that will likely come from the eyes of another, acting as a mirror through which you can see yourself differently. Seek out spaces that allow the unknown to peer through and change to occur, including your concrete beliefs, routines, and identities.
Gemini Rising
Daily steps, routines, and habits may feel small in the moment but they are transformational for you during Scorpio season. How you hold yourself everyday has the potential to walk you directly to where you desire. Allow yourself to explore different ways of being that support coming deeper into yourself and deeper into life—or commit yourself even more to the ones that already do.
This time invites depth into your everyday living, both within and without, and asks you to come deeper into your body and hold space for a somatic and emotional release of what once felt heavy. You may find that you’re a new person by the end of Scorpio season.
Cancer Rising
It’s time to remember that your emotions are your strength. They guide your everyday decisions and your greatest desires, they add meaning to your visions and are the motivation within your passions, and they are what bring you closer to others.
You are a water sign in a water season. Allow yourself and your creations to be seen for who you are beyond the surface. Allow yourself to love and be loved in truth, security, vulnerability, and the fullest expression of you. Allow yourself to express your depths with the knowing that you deserve the space you occupy—no matter how big that may feel at times.
Leo Rising
As the Sun shifts through Scorpio, it moves through the lowest and most shadowed part of your chart. It illuminates and calls you into your roots, your lineage, your inner child, and your early conditioning. It calls you to venture through and begin unravelling the patterns that sit deep within your body but that are no longer yours to hold and perhaps never were.
This is a season that brings reflection not just into the recent past but into your foundation. Scorpio desires for you to reclaim the true meaning of empowerment, which guides you to look at any ways you have given away your power and held onto anything that was not your truth. It’s your season to reclaim yourself from the ground up.
Virgo Rising
How does your intuition communicate with you? Does it speak to you through insights, whispers, or instinctual feelings? Does it make itself known through your emotions and visions, daydreams or desires? This is a time to explore how you connect with your intuitive knowing as it will be dialed all the way up. It’s also an aligned time to begin trusting its voice—your hunches and your emotions—regardless of what your logic might argue. Allow yourself to dive deep into the interests that call you and the topics that ignite a passion from within. They may be your doorway into total transformation.
Libra Rising
Scorpio season invites you to sink into your body. To hear its desires and its hurts, its memories and its hopes. Within your body are patterns, beliefs, and shifts that, when understood, can take you deeper into self value, self honoring, and self worth. Through somatic movement, yoga, massage, dance, or other inspired bodily action, your body becomes the portal back home to yourself.
By playing in your senses and sitting in awe of your body, you access and solidify the dreams you are building through tangible actions and build your relationship to both inner and outer security and wealth.
Scorpio Rising
It’s your season. As the Sun illuminates the first house of self, you are gifted both a strengthening of yourself and your identity and a transformation of it. This is a time to consider how you see yourself and how you desire to see yourself. How you move through the world and how you desire to dance. How you release old layers in order to emerge as the truth of who you are.
Take stock of the traits and ways of being that no longer fit you. It’s a season to celebrate who you are, how far you have come, and to solidify your visions for the future. And it’s a season to take your tenacious determination and claim your way forward.
Sagittarius Rising
Despite all that you see and feel in your physical environment, there seems to be a world, or perhaps many worlds, existing far beyond time and space. This season takes you there. It brings you into the subtle energy flow of all that exists beyond the senses. It takes you into realities that have been labeled akasha, creation, and the sacred. In this realm, knowing speaks louder than words, intuition louder than logic, energy louder than form. It all exists within, asking for inward journeying, space alone, and deep reflection. It is also within this world that we find ourselves within the space that all of humanity seems to exist within. The door is open.
There is an invitation to explore how to trust and strengthen your intuition, imagination, and connection with energy. It is also a time to explore how to work with boundaries, whether physical, emotional, or energetic. Walking through that doorway can take you more and more into what is destined as yours to hold.
Capricorn Rising
Scorpio season may be a vastly different energy to yours, yet you share a common thread of determination. This is a month to look forward and to build upon your inner strength, trust, and knowing that the mountain that calls your name is also the mountain that you were built to climb, and that you have everything required within you to reach its summit.
This season invites visioning, daydreaming, walking outside of your comfort zone, and a reclaiming of your trust in yourself. It invites you to look to your community for support. And it asks you to observe what lives beyond all that is currently contained in the collective consensus and considered the norm, safe, known. Turn your attention past what you and others have considered reality and consider it possible.
Aquarius Rising
It’s a season to turn up your magnetism and allow it to work in your favor. As the Sun shines in Scorpio, it also shines in the highest point of your astrological chart. The part of the chart that receives the most light, seeming to symbolize the part of yourself that reaches the most people and makes the most impact.
This season illuminates your legacy, career, or what you desire to build that will last beyond you. It shines a light on your public persona and how the world seems to view you. And it brings favor to this part of your world through support, magnetism, determination, and focus. What do you wish to create in this area of your life? What message do you wish to share? It’s your time to claim the answers.
Pisces Rising
Scorpio season brings you perspective. It’s as if you are standing upon the highest mountain and seeing your life from this vantage. From here, you can see left, right, backward, and forward. You can see details and entirety, structures and patterns, where you are coming from and where you are emerging. Scorpio brings a keen intuitive knowing to this sight, bringing it beyond the surface and penetrating unseen motivators and movements.
Throughout this time, you are invited to sit upon this high mountain and observe the larger picture, whether its the story of your truest desires or the story that you seem to be locked within. This season holds the space to consider, reconsider, and claim your beliefs, to transmute your lived experiences into deep wisdom, to broaden your horizons of what is known, and transform into the you that is waiting beyond your current self.
